yellow @ bottom of pf jar
    #16199041 - 05/08/12 09:19 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

My jar with the most beautiful and fastest growing mycelium has a yellow color thing at the bottom of the jar.  Is it contamination for sure?

It would be nice to see pics to know for sure, but from the sounds of it, it is metabolites from the mycelium - It's kinda like fugal urine. No need to worry, as long as it doesn't collect or pool in the bottom, in which case it could be bacteria. If it smells like feet, it's bacteria. If it smells like mushrooms, it's good.

Oh hell no, thats a contam, dump it. Please don't open the jar either, boil/PC it before opening to avoid releasing the spores everywhere.

FYI, you can usually smell bacteria though the lid. Also, never tilt your jars on their sides, it compromises the verm layer on top and will let contams in.

Sorry man, better luck next time.
